DHARMA DHWAJAROHAN AT AYODHYA SREE RAM MANDIR

शान्तं शाश्वतमप्रमेयमनघं निर्वाणशान्तिप्रदं

ब्रह्माशम्भुफणीन्द्रसेव्यमनिशं वेदान्तवेद्यं विभुम्।

रामाख्यं जगदीश्वरं सुरगुरुं मायामनुष्यं हरिं

वन्देऽहं करुणाकरं रघुवरं भूपालचूडामणिम्॥

The Ramcharitmanas, literally "Lake of the deeds of Rama", is an epic poem in the Awadhi language, composed by the 16th-century Indian poet-saint Tulsidas. It is a retelling of the Sanskrit epic Ramayana by Valmiki and is considered one of the greatest works of Hindu literature. Ramcharitmansa begins thus: -

"Shantam Shasvatamaprameyamanaghanam nirvanashantipradam

brahmashambhuphaneendrasevyamanisham vedantavedyam vibhum,

Ramakhayam jagadishvaram suragurum mayamanusyamharim

vandeaham karunakaram raghuvaram bhupalachunamanim."

I adore the Lord of the universe bearing the name of Rama, the Chief of Raghu’s line and the crest-jewel of kings, the mine of compassion, the dispeller of all sins, appearing in human form through His Maya (deluding potency), the greatest of all gods, knowable through Vedanta (the Upanishads),constantly worshiped by Brahma (the Creator), Sambhu (Lord Shiva) and Sesha (the serpent-god), the bestower of supreme peace in the form of final beatitude, placid, eternal, beyond the ordinary means of cognition, sinless and all-pervading.(1)

This earth, in all its entirety and fullness has been under the care of many successful kings starting from Prajāpati. This glorious ithihasa purana known as Rāmāyaṇa emerged from the descendants of the dynasty of great king Ikshwāku. The mighty King Dasaratha conducted yagna for begetting progeny. Six seasons after completion of the Yajña, on the twelfth month after completion, on the ninth day of the Caitra month, when the five planets were in high position, Kousalyā gave birth to a son by name Rāma, who would enhance the stature and reputation of the Ikshwāku dynasty, with auspicious features, boding splendid fortunes, endowed with half as many aspects, qualities and powers of Emperuman Sriman Narayana.

The Ghaghara River, also known as the Karnali River is River Sarayu !! largest tributary of the Ganges by volume and the second largest by length after Yamuna. Lower Ghaghara is popularly known as Sarayu in India, especially while it flows through the city of Ayodhya. Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Rama, is situated on the banks of the river Sarayu. The Sarayu river symbolizes spiritual merit, purification, and liberation. After centuries of dispute and court cases – now stands a very majestic temple at the very place where Sree Ramapiran was born – the Rama Janmabhoomi. There is only one by name Sri Rama, born in the lineage of Ikshwaku. He is totally balanced, one in complete control of His words, thoughts and deeds; a man of great valour ~ a person of steadfast character and radiant countenance – Lord Sree Rama

On that glorious auspicious day - 22.1.2024 – the Nation rejoiced the Prana pratishta of Sri Rama in the architecturally ornate beautiful Temple at His Janmasthan. The most sacred ceremony, marking the consecration of the deity within the temple, was a historic event that carried profound cultural and symbolic importance. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji presides over the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, officiated by a team of priests led by Lakshmikant Dixit.

Today 25.11.2025 is another remarkably significant day – conclusion of the wait of centuries, in between betrayal of some parties for few decades the Temple now stands majestic and today DHARMA DHWAJ adorns the spire of the beautiful ornate Mandir at Ayodhya - a symbol of unity, culture & civilizational resurgence. Ayodhya is glowing. Bharat is proud. Jai Shri Ram! the saffron flag flies high on the grand temple. This is the victory of every devotee

Historic 'Dhwajarohan' At Ayodhya Ram Mandir happened today. Honble PM Shri Narendra Modiji hoisted the flag marking the completion of Temple's Construction. Dharma Dhwaj, measuring 10 feet in height & 20 feet in length, bears image of radiant S un symbolizing brilliance & valour of Prabhu Shri Ram, with ‘Om’ inscribed on it along with image of. The ceremony is being held on auspicious Panchami of Shukla Paksha in Margashirsha month, coinciding with Abhijit Muhurat of Lord Ram and Maa Sita's Vivah-Panchami.

From today a very majestic ceremonial flag is fluttering on the spire of the sacred Ram Mandir symbolising the completion of the temple's construction. The auspicious time for the flag hoisting was between 11:58 AM and 12:30 PM, and dignitaries including Governor of Uttar Pradesh Anandiben Patel, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat and others were inside the temple complex. The Dhwajarohan at Ram Janmbhoomi Temple ushers in a new chapter of cultural celebration and national unity, said a statement issued by the Prime Minister's office.

The specially designed right-angled triangular flag, measuring 10 feet in height and 22 feet in length, has been crafted by a parachute specialist from Ahmedabad, Gujarat. It weighs between two and three kilograms and has been engineered to suit the 161-foot-high temple summit and the 42-foot flagpole. It bears the image of a radiant Sun symbolising the brilliance and valour of Bhagwan Shri Ram, with an 'Om' inscribed on it along with image of Kovidara tree. The sacred saffron flag will convey a message of dignity, unity, and cultural continuity, embodying the ideals of Ram Rajya.

The flag will rise atop a Shikhar constructed in the traditional North Indian Nagara architectural style, while the surrounding 800-metre Parkota, a circumambulatory enclosure built around the temple, designed in the South Indian architectural tradition, showcases the temple's architectural diversity, the PMO mentioned. The temple complex features 87 intricately carved stone episodes from the life of Bhagwan Shri Ram based on the Valmiki Ramayana on the outer walls of the main temple, and 79 bronze-cast episodes from Indian culture placed along the enclosure walls. Together, these elements provide a meaningful and educational experience to all visitors, offering deep insight into Lord Ram's life and the cultural heritage of India.
